Something has been attacking a remote cabin in Northern and it may have left behind a blood trail. DNA analysis suggested that the creature is a non-human primate. Now a follow up test will confirm or deny this, and the results could change history. Meanwhile, a new expedition, outfitted with the most advanced surveillance and detection equipment, will set up camp at the cabin and wait for the creature's imminent return.

This was a pretty interesting and entertaining special on the Hobbits of the island of Flores. Some notes:
Ebu Gogo, the Grandmother who eats anything.
First evidence came to light in the 1990'S, a tem of Dutch and Indonesian scientists.
Chris Stringer
Mike Morwood, archaeologist, examined ancient tools found by the Dutch and Indonesian teams. Tools that ancient should not exist on Flores.
A natural wall would keep animals and humans from getting to the island.
Liang Bua (cold cave) was a limestone cave where Morwood and his team searched for more evidence of the ancient toolmakers.
Bert Roberts of the University of Wollongong
A tiny arm bone was discovered 20 feet down in the cave.
Another year of digging yielded a possibly human tooth.
A prehuman skeleton was also found, suggesting a female child which turned out to be a miniature adult.
The skeleton was labeled LB1.
Fragments of others, 12 in all, were found. Pygmy elephant bones were also found.
Expert in paleoanthropology Peter Brown examined these remains and was taken aback.
The Homo Floresiensis has a smaller brain than a chimpanzee, and certainly smaller than modern humans.
Carbon dating was done on the remains (actually luminiscence dating) to determine that they were less than 30,000 years old.
Radiocarbon dating was also used, via Chris Turney, an expert in the field. This was done in an effort to give an absolute approximate date-10,000-12,000 years old!!!
There is a possibility of the hobbits being related to Hominins.
Ralph Holloway of Columbia University is skeptical of the Hobbits being a new species.
Tekeu Jacob asked to examine the hobbit, basically taking it away from the scientists.
He determined that it was most likely a modern human pygmy.
He eventually returned the bones, but the excavations at Liang Bua were suspended.
The skeptics offered that the small brain was the result of pathology which retards the growth of the brain (microcephaly).
Anthropologist Dean Falk is examining the Hobbit's and the skull of an individual who had the pathology to compare to see if indeed the disease could apply to the hobbits. The two brains are found to be completely different.
Paleoanthropologist Bill Jungers examined the skeleton to see if the pathology might affect the skeleton.
James Phillips of the Field Museum of Natural History also discusses the brain being the important element.
Mark Moore has examined the tools found in the cave, and is skeptical that they were the ones who made the stone tools.
The Controversy Continues. More on this special can be found Here.
It happened on Halloween night, and now it can be told. Columnist Dan Brown reports on the night he spent in the supposedly haunted Wampee House in Pinopolis, SC. Did he see the "maiden in blue"? Did objects move on their own? Were there cold spots in the house? Couldn't Brown have at least met a specter like Raymond, the Friendly Ghost? Meanwhile, Shannon McCabe at Haunted America Tours invites you along for Ghost Girls Tales: Haunted Hwy 49, a Driving Tour. With photos.

This was a GREAT show, with Dr. Jeff Meldrum, who discussed his footprint work, as well as his authorship of the excellent book Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science along with the DVD. He answered my question about whether footprint casting is affected by a substrate, and also a bit of a sneak preview of this Wednesday's Monsterquest episode which he will be part of returning to Snelgrove Lake. Several callers asked him some great questions, including about the late controversial researcher Paul Freeman and how credible Jeff thought he might have been, as well as a question about the Bossburg tracks. Next week, Billy and DB welcome Ohio Cryptozoologist Ron Schaffner starting at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.
Now in its fourth season, this online broadcast of interviews from the edge corners British cryptozoologist Adam Davies, author of Extreme Expeditions: Travel Adventures Stalking the World's Mystery Animals. Tim Binnall and Davies discuss the cryptozoologist's adventures on the track of the Mongolian Death Worm, the Congo's Mokele Mbembe, Sumatra's Orang Pendek and much more. As an added attraction, Binnall chats, in a mini-interview, with Thunderbird researcher Ken Gerhard. Downloadable broadcast.
Last week's expedition into the deeps of British Columbia's Okanagan Lake in search of the legendary Ogo-Pogo came up empty. Sort of. The "MonsterQuest" television program had all the equipment believed necessary to detect the creature, but came away with something found in an underwater cave, an organism "about six to eight inches long with some kind of flukey tail on it." A juvenile Ogo-Pogo? Elsewhere, at Mothman Flutterings you'll find Legend Tripping with Iowa's Black Angel and Mothman.
Billy and DB welcome as their guest Dr. Jeff Meldrum beginning at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.
This was a terrific show, the last of our Author's Month and a half, with guest Kathy Strain, who discussed her new book Giants, Cannibals and Monsters: Bigfoot In Native Culture, as well as her beginnings in the research, her meeting of her husband Bob Strain, her research with the Yokut tribe, her organization the Alliance of Independent Bigfoot Researchers (AIBR) and other topics. Bill asked some good questions of Kathy, as did some folks in the chat. Richie from California called in and asked Kathy some questions and also discussed the occurrences which happened when he took Mike Rugg and Daniel Perez to an area close to Santa Cruz where they heard a siren-like call. Next Friday will be the "Season Finale" of HBM's, our Year In Review show where Bill and I discuss the year in Cryptozoology, 7:00 EST/6:00 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.
Kenneth Deel notes some of the dangers inherent in ghost hunting and says, "Always be prepared...as many of the spirits that dwell within these hauntings are NOT good natured, and CAN harm you or affect you in a variety of ways." Do you still want to go in search of spirits? With illustrations. Meanwhile, a Colorado location is supposedly ripe for investigation, so The Ghost Hunt Is on at Manitou Springs Mansion, and an American university gets into the paranormal as Ghost Hunter Explores Auburn Chapel, Shares Personal Ghost Stories.

Bill Green's: here my new review- yeti is a great new horror movie it has alot action & suspence scenes alittle comedy in it. i give this movie A++++. the stars of this movie were great. the special effects on the yeti were good to nice. this new yeti kinda reminds of sasquatch & abominable. the acter who played the yeti did a great job in that role. thanks bill
Mine: I missed most of this, and it seems like it's a good thing I did. This one is pretty bad. It involves a group of College Students who have their plane crash in the Himalayas, where they run across some killer Yetis, who begin dispatching the students. The CGI used for the scenes where the Yeti jumps and runs is HORRIBLE, and the costume is pretty terrible too. It is like an Abominable, Snowbeast and Sasquatch: The Untold wannabe, without the charm or plot. Still, I give this 2 1/2 out of 5 stars, and that's generous.
